Lossless, artifact-free pages
Every page renders as a lossless PNG, so text edges and fine lines stay crisp with none of the blocky halos JPG compression bakes in around type and diagrams.

How to convert PDF to PNG in three steps
Upload your PDF
Drop in one PDF or a batch of them. Each file is read on your own device, and its pages are counted so you can pick exactly which ones to turn into images.
Choose pages and DPI
Set the page range — all of it, or something like 1-3,5 — then pick a resolution of 72, 96, 150, or 300 DPI. No quality slider and no background: PNG stays lossless and keeps transparency.
Download your PNGs
Each selected page becomes its own PNG in page order. Save them one by one, or pull the whole set down together as a single ZIP in one click.
Why pick PNG over JPG for your PDF pages
When you turn a PDF page into an image you have two real choices, and the format matters. PNG is lossless, so the text stays crisp, the thin lines stay sharp, and the flat colour blocks stay clean — none of the smeary halos that JPG compression leaves around letters and diagram edges. If a page area is transparent, PNG can carry that transparency straight through instead of painting a background behind it. That makes these exports the right pick for editing, layering a page into a design, dropping a clean screenshot of a page into a doc, or anywhere sharp edges do the talking.
Every page you select comes out as its own PNG, numbered in page order, rendered at the resolution you choose. There is no quality slider here, and that is on purpose: PNG is lossless, so there is nothing to trade away. There is no forced background either, because PNG keeps whatever transparency a page holds. Your two dials are the page range — export the whole file or something like 1-3,5 — and the DPI, from a light 72 up to a print-grade 300. Higher DPI gives you a bigger, sharper image; lower DPI keeps things quick and small.
A few honest notes so nothing surprises you. Each PNG is a raster snapshot of the page at the DPI you picked — the words become pixels, so they are not selectable, not searchable, and this is not OCR. If you need text you can highlight, a PNG is the wrong finish line. PNG files also run larger than the JPG version of the same page, sometimes a lot larger, which is the price of lossless quality and transparency; if small files matter more than sharp edges, reach for PDF to JPG instead. And remember that pushing DPI up makes each image both sharper and heavier.
Features
Transparency preserved
Where a page region is transparent, the PNG keeps it. No solid colour is forced behind your page, so exports drop cleanly onto any background you layer them over.
Page range and DPI control
Export the whole document or a slice like 1-3,5, and set the resolution from 72 up to 300 DPI so each image is exactly as sharp and as heavy as you need.
Built for PDF-to-PNG, honest about the trade-offs
- Lossless output keeps text and line edges razor-sharp on every page
- Transparency carried through with no forced background colour
- Page-range and DPI presets from a light 72 to a print-ready 300
- One PNG per page, downloadable singly or bundled into one ZIP
When converting PDF to PNG helps
Pulling artwork into a design
Render a page at 300 DPI and drop it straight into a layout or slide. Lossless edges and preserved transparency mean the graphic layers in cleanly instead of arriving with a muddy JPG halo.
Sharing a page as an image
Some chat apps, wikis, and issue trackers show images inline but hide PDF attachments behind a download. Export the page as a PNG and it previews right there in the thread.
Editing a page in an image editor
Photoshop, GIMP, and Figma all open PNG happily. Convert the page you need, mark it up, redact a box, or annotate it, without wrestling the whole PDF into an editor.
Grabbing a clean page screenshot
Instead of a lossy screen capture, render the exact page to a PNG at the DPI you want. The result is sharper than any screenshot and always crops to the full page.
Building thumbnails and previews
Turn the first page of each PDF into a crisp PNG to use as a cover image or a gallery thumbnail on a site, where sharp text reads far better than a soft JPG preview.
Feeding pages into other tools
Plenty of apps and pipelines want image input, not PDF. A lossless PNG per page gives them a faithful, uncompressed frame to work from without any quality guesswork.
Tips for clean PDF-to-PNG results
- Tip 1:
Match DPI to the job. Use 150 or 300 for print and detailed editing; 72 or 96 is plenty for on-screen previews and keeps each PNG light.
- Tip 2:
Only need a few pages? Type a range like 1-3,5 rather than exporting the whole document — you skip the wait and avoid a folder full of images you will not use.
- Tip 3:
Want smaller files above all? PNG is lossless and therefore heavier; if edge sharpness is not critical, PDF to JPG will hand you a much lighter image per page.
- Tip 4:
Need the words to stay selectable or searchable? A PNG is a picture of the page, so run the PDF through a dedicated OCR tool instead — this export cannot make text live.
PDF to PNG — frequently asked
How do I convert a PDF to PNG?
Drop your PDF onto the dropzone, set the page range you want and a DPI, then run the export. Each selected page is rendered to its own PNG on your own device and downloads straight to you, either one at a time or as a single ZIP.
Why choose PNG instead of JPG for my pages?
PNG is lossless, so text stays crisp and fine lines stay sharp with none of the compression halos JPG leaves around edges. It also keeps transparency where a page has it. The catch is size: a PNG page is larger than the same page saved as JPG.
Does PDF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Where a page region is transparent, the PNG preserves it rather than painting a solid colour behind the page. That is one of the main reasons to pick PNG over JPG, which always fills transparent areas with a flat background.
What DPI should I pick?
It depends on the use. 72 or 96 DPI is fine for on-screen previews and keeps files small. 150 DPI is a good middle ground, and 300 DPI is print-grade and best for detailed editing. Higher DPI makes each PNG both sharper and heavier.
Can I export only some pages?
Yes. Leave the range on all to convert the whole document, or type a specific selection like 1-3,5 to pull just the pages you need. Each page you choose comes out as its own PNG, numbered in the original page order.
Will the text in my PNG be selectable or searchable?
No. Each PNG is a raster snapshot of the page at your chosen DPI, so the words are pixels, not live text. They cannot be selected or searched, and this is not OCR. If you need searchable text, run the PDF through a dedicated OCR tool.
Why are my PNG files so large?
Because PNG is lossless — it stores every pixel exactly rather than discarding detail the way JPG does — and higher DPI adds even more pixels. That is the trade for sharp edges and transparency. If you want lighter files, use PDF to JPG instead.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Every PDF is read and rendered to PNG inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the bytes never leave your device. Nothing is sent away, copied, or stored. You can convert up to 50 PDFs at once, each as large as 100 MB.
